Have you ever heard those stories about people that get married... get divorced... and then fall in love all over again many years later... only to live out their days in bliss? I know 2 such couples. But always found the idea curious to say the least. I think this just happened to me today. Not with a person... but a thing. A thing I love.

I have no idea why. Or how. Something I fell in love with... turned me off a while back... and then like some sort of weird miracle... caught my eye cross the room by surprise and took hold of me. As if no time had passed at all... only I discovered that all those days without that love... I was learning how to love it better than I knew how to before. How do we learn how to do something while not doing it at all? The human experience is so amazing. We are so much more than we realize.

I think it's such a gift that my old brain is where it used to be... without me giving it due diligence. Like a shiny ring I forgot I owned. It was always there... just waiting.

There is an intense comfort that comes from remembering something you used to love.
